Kim Kardashian trolled as she FINALLY graduates law school after six year journey
Kim Kardashian has finally completed her law school program after a six year journey, with some fans trolling her for taking so long.
The reality TV star, 44, celebrated the major achievement with a backyard ceremony — where she was the only student — and shared the video to her Instagram.
The mom-of-four was pictured sitting next to a podium in a grey top, a black mini skirt, and a beige graduation cap, while her mentors gave speeches praising her, and her family and kids watched.
One of her mentors even called it 'one of the most inspiring legal journeys we've ever seen.'
Kardashian didn't attend traditional law school. In California, individuals can become lawyers by completing a four-year Law Office Study Program (LOSP), also known as 'reading the law,' instead of going to law school. She still needs to pass the Bar Exam to practice law in the state.

Her mentor went on to speak about Kim's 'fierce desire to fight for justice' and noted the star did not take any shortcuts and was full of 'determination.'
She added Kim finished the program while 'raising four children, running businesses, filming television shows, and showing up in courtrooms to advocate for others.'
Another mentor spoke about how Kim has 'advocated for clemency, helped reunite families, and brought national attention to the most broken parts of our legal system.'
CNN 's Van Jones also appeared at the ceremony, praising her for her criminal justice efforts.
Kim later approached the podium to get her diploma, as her younger three kids — Chicago, seven, Saint, nine, and Psalm, five — watched.
However, not all fans were impressed, with some joking about how long it took Kim to finish.
'Lmao 6 years to finish her "bar prep" program,' one wrote.
'And it only took her double the amount of time!'
'Gurl 6 years for a law school.'
'Girl it takes THREE. You didn't graduate, you just caught up.'
'Mind you law school is supposed to take 3 years.'
'Took her long enough.'
'Is it supposed to take this long?' someone else asked, while another joked that Kim must have only taken one class per semester.
'To do what exactly?' another questioned.
However others were more understanding, with one writing, 'she was building skims, raising four kids, running an empire and studying law…this is her legally brunette era and i support it.'
Her sister Khloe Kardashian shared a clip about the ceremony, expressing how proud she is of Kim for completing the journey.
Olde sister Kourtney Kardashian also celebrated, posing in a graduation cap in an Instagram snap.
For the past six years, Kim has dedicated roughly 18 hours a week to studying law, totaling more than 5,000 hours. Her efforts paid off when she passed the 'baby bar' back in 2021.
Kim's process took longer than four years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and her busy schedule.
Kim had already passed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination back in March — a big exam for her program — sources told TMZ.
The star marked her graduation with a celebration at Beverly Hills hotel.
Kim's chic look for the day was completed with white heels and black stockings.
It's unclear if her eldest daughter North West, 11, was present.
Kim shares all four of her kids with ex-husband Kanye West, 47.
The star's late father, legendary attorney Robert Kardashian, was clearly on her mind during the special day, as she shared a photo of him.
He gained national recognition in the mid-1990s for his involvement in O.J. Simpson's murder trial, where he served as a friend and defense attorney on Simpson's legal 'Dream Team.'
He passed away in 2003 from esophageal cancer. He was 59 years old.
Kim also shared an adorable snap of her son Psalm in a suit enjoying some ice cream, and proudly wrote, 'my babies were there to see my graduate.'
Daughter Chicago was also clad in a suit to watch her mom graduate.
Kim also showed a photo of the placemats at the celebration, which were versions of her study flash cards.
The reality TV star reportedly plans to take the bar exam in 2026.
In 2018 Kim started her dream of wanting to become a lawyer like her father.

Amy Childs in Towie feud as two cast members aren't invited to her wedding
AMY Childs has snubbed two Towie castmates as she puts together her wedding guest list, The Sun can exclusively reveal. The reality TV favourite, 34, still intends to tie the knot with fiancé Billy Delbosq despite the pair reportedly postponing their nuptials due to some "last minute changes". 4 4 But two Towie stars won't be watching her say "I do" when it eventually does take place. A source said: ' Amy has said all her Towie family will be invited to her wedding with Billy, bar two cast members. "Although she said she isn't naming names it's clear to everyone who knows who those two cast members are." Her cousin Harry Derbidge's ex-boyfriend, Joe Blackmore, and his former BFF, Junaid Ahmed, will be notable absentees. It follows a huge rift after Joe struck up a romance with Junaid following cheating allegations and his subsequent split from Harry. The insider continued: "While they've done their very best to make amends and try and reintegrate back into the cast fold, Amy has drawn her line in the sand and made her position very clear. "She and Bill filmed an explosive scene with the pair last year and since then have very much kept their distance." The last series ended with an emotional Joe and Junaid having make up talks with Jordan (Brooks) and Sophie (Kasaei) as they were invited to his 30th birthday bash. Harry previously revealed he and Joe - who has a son from a previous relationship - had started planning their wedding and had even discussed having more children. Speaking to Closer, he said: "He has moved in and we live together now... it's going really good. We talk about loads of things. Amy Childs sparks concern after sharing snaps of construction work on new pool at home as fans issue stark warning "We have planned our futures and I know that will be me forever. "We want to have kids one day and get married. "We will just run away to Vegas. We will see Elvis Presley and do it. "Me and Joe always talk about a Vegas wedding and about surrogacy. If we never worked out, I would be so sad." But the happy ending never played out and the relationship came to an explosive end after Harry confronted Joe about messages he'd found between him and Junaid. 4

Pete Hegseth's war on gay icon Harvey Milk backfires as even his fans call him 'idiotic'
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth 's attempt to erase LGBTQ + icon Harvey Milk's name from a US Navy ship has backfired spectacularly with widespread backlash, including from some of his own supporters. The controversy erupted after reports surfaced that Hegseth, 44, proposed renaming the USNS Harvey Milk - a vessel dedicated in 2021 to honor the slain gay rights pioneer and Navy veteran. Milk served four years during the Korean War before being discharged due to questions about his sexual orientation. He went on to become the first openly gay member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and was assassinated in 1978. Hegseth and the broader Trump administration are now facing criticism from veterans' groups, high-profile public figures and former DoD Secretary fans, including Newsweek's political editor Carlo Versano, over the controversial renaming effort. 'I've never before seen a Secretary of Defense so aggressively demote himself to the rank of Chief PETTY Officer,' actor Sean Penn, 64, who portrayed Milk in the Oscar-winning 2008 biopic Milk, said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. Dustin Lance Black, the film's screenwriter, also criticized the move as politically divisive. 'This is yet another move to distract and to fuel the culture wars that create division,' Black, 50, told The Hollywood Reporter. 'It's meant to get us to react in ways that are self-centered so that we are further distanced from our brothers and sisters in equally important civil rights fights in this country. It's divide and conquer.' The progressive veterans' group VoteVets also condemned the move. 'At the start of Pride Month, Pete Hegseth ordered the Navy to strip Harvey Milk's name from a ship,' the group wrote on X, formerly Twitter. 'A man who served with honor - erased to send a message. This is a deliberate insult to LGBTQ troops and Americans that weakens our force and shreds the values we fight for.' Versano, who was once a cautious supporter of Hegseth's Pentagon appointment, has since turned sharply critical. In a column titled 'Now Boarding the USS Idiocracy,' the Newsweek's political editor wrote, 'I cannot believe I once wrote here that I was cautiously optimistic about Hegseth as someone who could shake up the Pentagon. Was I on drugs?' He added, 'This guy is such an embarrassment to be leading our military… this is what the Defense Department is sitting around worrying about right now?' Several public officials have also voiced their outrage. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer posted on X: 'Erasing Harvey Milk's name is disgusting, blatant discrimination - and during Pride Month to boot. He served the U.S. Navy and his country honorably... Hegseth should be ashamed of himself and reverse this immediately.' Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi added, 'The reported decision... is a shameful, vindictive erasure of those who fought to break down barriers for all to chase the American dream.' Former Pentagon official Alex Wagner, who helped lead the department's first Pride event in 2012, said the decision was 'disappointing, but no surprise.' Wagner noted, 'When I served... we prioritized building and resourcing a ready force capable of deterring, denying, and - if necessary - defeating the People's Liberation Army. We sought to harness one of our greatest strategic advantages - the diverse experiences and expertise of all Americans.' In defense of the renaming initiative, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell stated, 'Secretary Hegseth is committed to ensuring that the names attached to all DOD installations and assets are reflective of the Commander-in-Chief's priorities, our nation's history, and the warrior ethos.' According to CBS News, an internal Navy memo cited the renaming as an effort to ensure 'alignment with president and SECDEF objectives and SECNAV priorities of reestablishing the warrior culture.' The document also indicated that other Navy ships - named after historical figures such as Thurgood Marshall, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Harriet Tubman, Cesar Chavez, and Medgar Evers - are also under review for potential renaming.
